Con il seguente annuncio AMD ha deciso di rimandare il debutto di Ryzen 9000 con un lancio scadenzato in due trance, l’8 agosto per Ryzen 9600X e 9700X e il 15 agosto per Ryzen 9900X e 9950x: a quanto pare alcune CPU già distribuite presentavano delle problematiche, nel caso si manifestassero, AMD offrirà la sostituzione, ovviamente, gratuita.
“We appreciate the excitement around Ryzen 9000 series processors. During final checks, we found the initial production units that were shipped to our channel partners did not meet our full quality expectations. Out of an abundance of caution and to maintain the highest quality experiences for every Ryzen user, we are working with our channel partners to replace the initial production units with fresh units. As a result, there will be a short delay in retail availability. The Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X processors will now go on sale on August 8th and the Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 9900X processors will go on-sale on August 15th. We pride ourselves in providing a high-quality experience for every Ryzen user, and we look forward to our fans having a great experience with the new Ryzen 9000 series.”
Qualche sospetto era nell’aria, visto che le principali testate giornalistiche non avevano ancora ricevuto sample per preparare una review, il che fa pensare che la decisione sia stata presa ben prima.
